Bangle bracelets made from PET bottles - modern, colorful, and casual!
Bangles or bracelets are the perfect addition to any outfit and always a
eye-catcher. Here I show you a special method for quickly and easily
making stylish bangles with very little material.

All you need is an old PET bottle, some yarn, and for a bit of
glamour, a piece of rhinestone chain - and in no time you’ll have a truly
unique piece of jewelry. Also great as a gift or small present to bring along.

You can combine the bangles however you like. Whether you wear just one
bangle (possibly a little wider), two, or several bangles at the same time
- they are always a real eye-catcher. Depending on which
colors you use, these pieces of jewelry can look either elegant (e.g.
in black and white), cheerfully summery (colorful in pastel shades), etc.

No metal, flexible, and feather-light - making them super comfortable to wear.
Materials used: plastic from PET bottles, cotton (Catania Grande by Schachenmayr), rhinestone chain, jewelry glue.

The bangles are washable at 30 degrees in a laundry net.

Turquoise, blue, and green are the perfect colors for Barbie’s mermaid outfit. You only need a small amount of yarn, so just a little leftover yarn is enough.

Together with the flower top and the hair accessory, Barbie can then glide through the water as the perfect mermaid.
